Bob Schneider - Live at the Cactus Theater!

Bob Schneider fans get ready….the genius of Bob Schneider returns to the Cactus Theater, Friday, September 20. Local opener to be announced closer to show date.

One of Texas’ elite singer-songwriters and live performers, Bob Schneider makes his 3rd appearance at the historic Cactus Theater, Friday, Sept 20.

One thing Schneider has excelled at in his career is bringing audiences back. Though he has received little national press or major label support, he has managed to become one of the biggest acts in Austin, if not in Texas. His fans, who often discover him from being brought to his shows by their friends, are fiercely loyal. Many have attended dozens or even hundreds of shows. Thanks to these fans, Schneider has won more Austin Music Awards than any other musician, including Best Album, Best Songwriter, Best Musician, and Best Male Vocals, rounding in at 59 total awards to date.

In retrospect, it appears inevitable that Bob Schneider would become an artist. He was born in Michigan and raised in Germany, where his father pursued a career as a professional opera singer. As a boy, Schneider studied piano and guitar, often performing at family parties and backing his father on drums at nightclubs throughout his youth in Germany and Texas. He went on to study art – his other primary passion and avocation – at the University of Texas El Paso, before moving to Austin and establishing himself as a musician. He performs relentlessly, creates new music compulsively, writes poetry, and regularly shows his visual art in galleries around Austin. With his latest album “Blood and Bones”, Schneider further cements his reputation as one of the most versatile, inventive, and engaging songwriters working today.
